[Let's Dance to Popular Hits!] Recommended Dance Songs for Elementary School Students

DancerFukkun:)Tatsuki Fukuda
Primarily active in Tokyo, I have experience as a backup dancer for artists, a music video dancer, and a commercial dancer. I continue to work as a dancer while also engaging in article production. After discovering Michael Jackson in junior high school, I began dancing in my second year of high school. Since starting dance, in addition to the J-Pop and Japanese rock I had been listening to, I began exploring Western R&B, rap, alternative music, and other tracks commonly used for dance. In elementary school, I spent three years in a choir, and because I love singing, I often go to karaoke for fun. These days, I enjoy a wide range of music, from Japanese rock and rap to K-pop.

I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

Blue Sky BlueFlower

Flower “Blue Sky Blue” [KOSE “Fasio E-girls Proof Live” CM Song]

Blue Sky BlueFlower

For those who want to dance to a slightly more mature-sounding song, we recommend Flower’s “Blue Sky Blue.” Released in 2015, this track was featured in a KOSE commercial.

It’s a ballad festival of bittersweet love, portraying the pain of wanting to meet someone but being unable to.

The choreography, full of feminine grace, is on the challenging side, but try practicing together—especially with kids who take dance lessons! If you show off a grown-up style dance, you’re sure to surprise your mom and dad!
